The Deeds of Nahuṣa: Entry into Nāgāhvaya, Reunion with Parents, and Royal Consecration
रंभा च सा ननामाथ प्रीतिं चैवाप्यदर्शयत् । नमस्कृत्वा समाभाष्य स्वगुरुं नृपनंदनः
raṃbhā ca sā nanāmātha prītiṃ caivāpyadarśayat | namaskṛtvā samābhāṣya svaguruṃ nṛpanaṃdanaḥ
اور پھر رمبھا نے بھی جھک کر نمسکار کیا اور اپنا پیار ظاہر کیا۔ تعظیم بجا لا کر، شہزادے نے اپنے ہی گرو سے مخاطب ہو کر بات کی۔
